Data Access and Hosting
You can visit our website without providing personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically records a server log file containing, for example, the name of the file requested, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transmitted, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.
These access data are evaluated exclusively to ensure the proper functioning of the website and to improve our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which take precedence in the context of balancing interests. All access data will be deleted no later than 30 days after the end of your visit to the website.
Third-Party Hosting Services
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party service provider provides us with website hosting and presentation services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which take precedence in the context of balancing interests. All data collected through use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described in the legal notice are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place as described here.
This service provider is located in a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.
Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account.
We collect personal data when you provide it to us voluntarily as part of your order, when you contact us (for example via the contact form or by email) or when opening a customer account. Required fields are marked as such because in these cases we need the data for contract processing, or for processing your enquiry or opening the customer account, and you cannot complete the order and/or open the account or cannot send the enquiry without this information. The data collected can be viewed from the respective input forms.
We use the data you have provided to us for contract processing and handling your enquiries. After full processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted from further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond what is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can take place either through a message to the contact option described in the legal notice.
Data transmission
To execute the contract, we transmit your data to the transport company responsible for delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we transmit the payment data collected for payment processing to the credit institution responsible for payment and, where applicable, to payment service providers we have engaged or the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log into the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data protection statement of the payment service provider concerned applies in this regard.
Email advertising and postal advertising
Email advertising with newsletter subscription
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data necessary for this purpose or that you communicate to us separately in order to send you our newsletter regularly by email on the basis of your consent.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in the legal notice or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscription, we delete your email address, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond what is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.
Email advertising without newsletter subscription and your right of objection
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you do not object to this, we reserve the right to send you regular offers for similar products, such as those already purchased, from our range by email. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in advertising to our customers, which outweighs our interests.
You can object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact option in the legal notice or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising email, without incurring any costs other than transmission charges in accordance with standard rates.
The newsletter is sent as part of processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we transmit your email address for this purpose.
This service provider is located in a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.
Postal advertising and your right of objection
Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for advertising purposes, for example to send interesting offers and information about our products by post. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in advertising to our customers, which outweighs our interests.
Cookies and web analytics
In order to make our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, to display appropriate products or for market research purposes, we use cookies on various pages. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimised presentation of our offer, which take precedence in the context of a balancing of interests. Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on your terminal. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of your browser session, that is, after you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal and allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can see the storage duration in the overview in the cookie settings of your web browser. You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them or exclude cookie acceptance in certain cases or generally. Each browser differs in how it handles cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You will find them for the respective browsers under the following links:

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analysis
For website analysis, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (www.google.de). This serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimised presentation of our offer, which take precedence in the context of a balancing of interests. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that allow us to analyse your use of the website, such as cookies. Information automatically collected about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. By enabling IP address anonymisation on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or other states party to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. The anonymised IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. After we stop using Google Analytics, the data collected in this context will be deleted.
Google LLC is headquartered in the United States and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here. Through this agreement between the United States and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.
You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Alternatively to the browser plug-in, you can click on this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future. An exclusion cookie is stored on your mobile device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again.
Social Media Plugins
Use of AddThis social plugins via the "2-click solution".
On our website, social plugins ("plugins") are used by social networks. To increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are integrated into the site using a so-called "2-click solution". This integration ensures that no connection to the respective social network servers is established when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed. It is only when you activate the plugins that your browser establishes a direct connection to the respective social network servers.
The corresponding plugin content is then transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive information that your browser has accessed on the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the respective provider or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider (if applicable in the United States) and stored there. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" or "Share" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a provider server and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed to your contacts. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our offer, which take precedence in the balance of interests.
The purpose and scope of data collection, further processing and use of data by the providers as well as contact options and your rights and settings options to protect your privacy can be found in the providers' privacy information:

This transmits the web pages you have visited to the server. The IP address of the visitor's terminal browser is also stored by Google. You can find further information in Google's privacy policy, which you can access here:

Secure Data Transmission
We transmit your personal data in encrypted form. This also applies to your order and customer login. For this purpose, we use the TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encoding system.
Furthermore, we secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or disclosure of your data by any unauthorised person using technical and organisational measures.

Right of Objection
Insofar as we process personal data as described above to protect our legitimate interests, which take precedence in the context of a balancing of interests, you may object to this processing with effect for the future. If the data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may exercise this right at any time as described above. If processing is for other purposes, you only have a right of objection if there are reasons arising from your particular situation.
After exercising your right of objection, we will not process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal rights.
This does not apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. In that case, we will not process your personal data for that purpose.
